In 1973, martial arts great Bruce Lee died, his final film, Game of Death, left unfinished. With the public hungry for more Lee, movie execs decide to find a replacement. This outrageous satire looks at the entire process, from the oddball candidates to the greed and racial motivations that drive the final decision. There's big business in the movies, and Finishing the Game skewers it with an eye for '70s detail.

Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
Finishing The Game doesn't get anywhere that Hollywood Shuffle didn't go to first.
– Noel Murray,
AV Club,
5 Oct 2007
rotten:
What little potential there is ends up squandered within nanoseconds; as both a parody and a polemic, the film is finished before it's barely begun.
– David Fear,
Time Out New York,
6 Oct 2007
fresh:
A very funny, equal-opportunity broadside that targets Asian stereotyping, and not just by non-Asians.
– David Wiegand,
San Francisco Chronicle,
19 Oct 2007
fresh:
The breezy tone and obvious fun being had by the cast make Finishing the Game a slight, low-key cool cinematic essay on identity politics.
– Ernest Hardy,
L.A. Weekly,
25 Oct 2007
rotten:
This tedious mockumentary isn't even as entertaining as one of Ed Wood's actual films, and once-promising director Justin Lin has some karma to square for fumbling such a sure thing.
